The frequencies will be 146.565 MHz and 144.250 MHz. Bring your own receiver with S-meter, preferably with a yagi or loop antenna. Transmitters will be outdoors on the grounds of the Marriott.

I got my General license last year at Pacificon after the one day class by Paul K6FRC and Rich KN6FW. I was immediately interested when they talked about radio direction finding, aka Foxhunting. I found Radio Direction Finding - San Francisco (rdf-sf.org) and joined them for their hunts.  I am new to this hobby and very excited.

My background in Transmitter Hunting goes back almost a half century. I delight in using things I already have and modifying them to do what I want them to do! On Sunday I would be happy to show you what I did that made me a contender in T-Hunts.
